Armageddon Everything

ARMAGEDDON EVERYTHING - Written by Carroll Bryant 





Everybody’s living to their own way
Looking for to cash in on payday
Promises broken
Words unspoken
You can get married just as long as you’re not gay

We can’t learn
We can’t learn
We just keep burning ourselves
Shooting ourselves in the foot
Making the same mistakes
Until we bleed and hurt
Forgetting the past like really, really fast
We can’t learn when we keep on making it worse

Armageddon this and Armageddon that
Getting confused with opinions and facts
Distorting the truth
Until it’s a lie
Shaking your hand and saying your last goodbyes

We can’t learn
We can’t learn
We just keep burning ourselves
Shooting ourselves in the foot
Making the same mistakes
We still can’t find work
Forgetting the past like really, really fast
We can’t learn when we keep on making it worse

And we’re making it worse

Making the vote count for some kind of joke
And we joke around the way we know things are
Hiding in our happy place
Blank look upon our face
The less that we see
The more that we be
Homeless children of time and space

Armageddon this and Armageddon that
Armageddon all of the Armageddon facts
Armageddon how to Armageddon relax
Armageddon all of the Armageddon tax

Armageddon all of this and that
Armageddon everything!

Where did our happy meals go?
Why must our freedom of choice go up in smoke?
It’s all truth or dare or Obama-care
I can make my own decisions, thank you very much
All you politicians are so way out of touch

Armageddon everything!

We can’t learn
We can’t learn
We just keep burning ourselves
Shooting ourselves in the foot
Making the same mistakes
Until we bleed and hurt
Forgetting the past like really, really fast
We can’t learn when we keep on making it worse

And we’re making it worse

Everybody’s living to their own way
That’s what I see
That’s what they claim
Trying to make me live like them
That’s what I see
That is the shame

Armageddon everything!

Misery

MISERY - Written by Carroll Bryant




Another cigarette
One more shot of whiskey
A curse out to the wind
The night air settles in my lungs again

Too many memories
I shake like my father
This addiction is kuku crazy
You can’t divide time without being benign

Welcome to my misery
The only place where I can be happy
I hated it when you were with me
How I love misery

I miss your company

Music is my medicine
I write it everyday
Your touches formed the melodies
Your scent lingers on display

Not enough discrepancies
I worry like my mom
Lost inside my abandon
You led me here alone

Welcome to my misery
The only place where I can be happy
I hated it when you were with me
How I love misery

I miss your company

These thoughts of you are dreams
They’re making me dizzy
I’m trapped somewhere in between
Everything and absolutely nothing

One last cigarette
One more shot of whiskey
I’m close to forgetting
All the things I forgot to forget

Welcome to my misery
The only place where I can be happy
I hated it when you were with me
How I love misery

I miss your company

Gone, Gone, Gone

GONE, GONE, GONE - Written by Carroll Bryant





I’m living with angels
That’s how it always goes
Every time you kill my dreams
When it’s too soft or hard
You go and break some hearts
A girl who’s nothing like she seems

Swimming in hurricanes
Dancing inside the rain
Pretending that nothing hurts
Rifles and crossbows
Your feelings will never show
Claiming that it’s just too much work

But now you’re gone, gone, gone
Clean out of sight
Yes, you’re gone, gone, gone
Girl, you’re gone tonight

Been talking with spirits
I know you can’t hear it
You’re as deaf as I am blind
Been doing some drinking
After all of this thinking
Is driving me right out of my crazy mind

I’m carrying a heavy load
I feel like I should explode
A lunatic going insane
Like a bat out of holy hell
I can still smell your smell
Smelt until you dealt it again

But now you’re gone, gone, gone
Clean out of sight
Yes, you’re gone, gone, gone
Girl, you’re gone tonight

I can’t believe that I fell for it so fast
Been living in the future
And forgot my past

Holding your hand until I can’t feel
Living inside a fantasy
Convincing myself that it was real

But it’s not ….

Nothing to do now
Except for to fall down
Spinning out of all control
Hate is the pure love
That picks me right back up
And into a much darker soul

Breathing in oxygen
Here we go once again
I should be wearing a mask
Morning, noon, dead of night
It’s the constant heat of the fight
Blurred by the lack of mind contrast

But now you’re gone, gone, gone
Clean out of sight
Yes, you’re gone, gone, gone
Girl, you’re gone tonight

And now you’re gone, gone, gone
Clean out of sight
Yes, you’re gone, gone, gone
Girl, you’re gone tonight

You’re gone alright

You fought one hell of a fight

And now you’re gone, gone, gone
Yes, you’re gone, gone, gone
Girl, you’re gone, gone, gone

Clean out of sight
